43 Folders Wiki
Merlin Mann | Mar 20 2005
The long-promised 43 Folders Wiki is finally up and running at http://wiki.43folders.com/. W00t. With the help of a few intrepid barn raisers, we’ve started slapping together the beginnings of what I know will become a fascinating adjunct to the main site and our 1,600-strong Google Group. It’s yours to contribute to and to edit as you see fit. As with the mothership, You can use the discussion area of each page or leave comments here. Thanks to everyone for pitching in, and welcome aboard! Update 2005-03-24 09:13:18: I’m pleased to note that “The Rules” have been wildly re-jiggered to remove any restrictions on content based on platform. While I unapologetically stand by my desire to keep the 43 Folders blog focused on the needs of Mac users, there’s absolutely no reason to try and social-engineer a community site like our wiki. I trust our visitors implicitly to do good work and to make smart decisions; it is they who should decide what works and what doesn't. And based on the amazing progress they've made over just 4 or so days, I’m more confident than ever that the wiki will grow into a resource that benefits people far beyond the focus I'll continue to hold here on the mothership. Thanks to the many amazing contributors and to everyone who’s shared their opinion on how best to build a site that works for as many people as possible. 41 Comments

Swan: these things tend to organize themselves over time. In general it can be useful to start with deliberate clustering, then sort of branch out organically. I've seen a couple wikis topple fast because folks dashed into making hundreds of orphaned stubs--makes it too hard to see "what's there." Your point is well taken though. I'm sure our gnomes will be milling around a lot over the next couple weeks! :) » POSTED IN:
